Researchers with greater scientific impact are less happy. The reason is that they suffer from worse work-life balance. All work and no play, makes academics miserable. But...scholars who have prosocial goals and creative engagement are happy. The key is tenure. academic.oup.com/rev/article/...

The Iowa Gambling Task is an extreme example of Jingle Fallacy and schmeasurement. In 100 articles we found 244 different ways of scoring it, 177 were never reused. Correlations between them range -.99 to .99. At the same time, we show meta-analyses combine these results as if they’re equivalent.

Wonderful to see this replication effort in the physical sciences using the models of many labs, preregistration, and transparency that have benefitted other fields. And, an investment of $9.5 million to do it! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A meta-analysis on reducing discrimination finds: 1) passive interventions, such as short-term education or bias reminders, are ineffective 2) targeting behavior directly to inhibit bias (eg making individuals accountable or changing social norms) is helpful psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Stand-up comedy isn’t just about being funny. Psychologically, it’s a high-stakes mix of attention control, emotional regulation, social prediction, and public vulnerability. I looked at what research reveals about the minds drawn to the stage.

Psychopathy, Narcissism and Machiavellianism are implicated in many of the most significant societal issues we face, including crime, destructive leadership, bullying and even terrorism. However, debate persists about how effectively they are captured by existing measures.

I am hoping to recruit a graduate student for next year. That person would help conduct research on leadership, individual differences, and methodological skullduggery. Please forward to any potentially interested students.
